What's wrong with >>1430

>>2870
it's not a general. it'll eventually slide off

>>2871
i think no threat on /dead/ has ever slid off

>>2871
It is a thread about reading Stirner, how is that not "general" enough?

I really like Art and Religion but I don't really get what the fuck he is trying to say in the False Principle of Our Education.

>>2876
prob shouldnt teach kids morals cause morals are bs

"egoism" (pretending to have read stirner) is just rules but more passive aggressive

this shit is gay as fuck and not in the good way

>>3295
>and not in the good way
imagine calling anyone else corny

>>3292
what rules?

i found song from a hungarian band


>>3555
The lyrics are from this part:
> Under the rule of a cruel master my body is not “free” from torments and lashes; but it is my bones that groan under the torture, my fibers that twitch under the blows, and I groan because my body groans. That I sigh and shiver proves that I have not yet lost myself, that I am still my own. My leg is not “free” from the master’s stick, but it is my leg and is inseparable. Let him tear it off me and see if he still has my leg! He holds nothing in his hand but—the corpse of my leg, which is as little my leg as a dead dog is still a dog. A dog has a beating heart, a so-called dead dog has none and so is no longer a dog.

>>3555
The vocals are weird, dude.

Why is Stirner so popular? Is he just an excuse to be an asshole?

>>3684
1) as a meme: he's fun, his image has always been a sketch, he's edgy if you come from a religious background or are around stuck up moralists - basically, kids like him and he's a good argument against all kinds of "common sense" and "morals" arguments
2) as a philosopher: he's a good example of the bourgeoisie's philosophical fight for freedom, individuality, secularism, etc. and he took the fight against humanism too, and against freedom as well so it's a good inflection point where freedom is shown to be unfreedom, and the boundaries of the individual and the inner knowability of the individual are challenged, and liberal ethics comes into conflict with its self (individualism vs humanism, individual will versus systems of social hierarchy). It's obviously not a fully fleshed out philosophy without contradiction or loose ends, but it's a really cool point between petite-bourgeois and proletarian radicalism (that is to say, the one leading into the other, albeit in incomplete fashion).

Is it Jevil moment, J'evil moment or Tevil moment?

>>3778
Don't even know where you saw an apostrophe, but it's the first one.

He wrote two books

>>3783
What are they?

>>3783
I only know about his 20 or so articles aside from the Unique and His Property, but none of them could really be considered a book

I want to improve my capabilities as it means I am able to seize and protect more property than I would otherwise. More things become mine, as I become greater than my nature. I cannot know until I've done so that this will let me derive any greater pleasure than if I hadn't. But I'd like to try.

>>3791
Nobody's stopping you, go gettem kid

>>3792
I'm stopping me. I've forgotten how to have a will to live. I have become stupid, reading has become difficult, and I have forgotten how to socialize. I lack the capability to improve my capabilities. I hope to pass away soon.

Can't win every time sadly
>stupid
You're talking about getting more powerful, taking stuff from others. Plenty functionally illiterate people out in the world doing exactly that. And if you really are getting dumber, maybe your will to live will come back. Or try remembering good moments like when the brits had their queen die.

>>3790
read this a while back and thought it was pretty good summation. He also puts into words concepts I've had difficulty doing myself.

>>3794
watched some clips of lizzie's in a box chants and felt happier

thanks anon

the ego book tells me base my affair on my desires, but what if i dont know what i desire? or i desire nothing?

People keep claiming that Stirner's book is self-help, is that true? Did it help anyone here?

File: 1690192464732.jpg (96.25 KB, 1080x561, 20201031_031726_edit_10410….jpg)

>>4238
Yeah it helped me to accept myself as I am and stop worrying about meeting the expectations about myself others planted into me.

>>4198
But he based his affairs on nothing tho. That’s kind of the point. It’s like in the first part of the book and draws inspiration from the poem by Goethe, “Vanitas! Vanitatum Vanitas!” It’s a major theme throughout.
There is a type of desirism that intersects but it’s there is no edict to desire.

MY trust in nothing now is placed,

Hurrah!
So in the world true joy I taste,

Hurrah!
Then he who would be a comrade of mine
Must rattle his glass, and in chorus combine,
Over these dregs of wine.

I placed my trust in gold and wealth,

Hurrah!
But then I lost all joy and health,

Lack-a-day!
Both here and there the money roll'd,
And when I had it here, behold,
From there had fled the gold!

I placed my trust in women next,

Hurrah!
But there in truth was sorely vex'd,

Lack-a-day!
The False another portion sought,
The True with tediousness were fraught,
The Best could not be bought.

My trust in travels then I placed,

Hurrah!
And left my native land in haste.

Lack-a-day!
But not a single thing seem'd good,
The beds were bad, and strange the food,
And I not understood.

I placed my trust in rank and fame,

Hurrah!
Another put me straight to shame,

Lack-a-day!
And as I had been prominent,
All scowl'd upon me as I went,
I found not one content.

I placed my trust in war and fight,

Hurrah!
We gain'd full many a triumph bright,

Hurrah!
Into the foeman's land we cross'd,
We put our friends to equal cost,
And there a leg I lost.

My trust is placed in nothing now,

Hurrah!
At my command the world must bow,

Hurrah!
And as we've ended feast and strain,
The cup we'll to the bottom drain;
No dregs must there remain!

Looking for poststructuralists/anyone-post-68 i guess that engages with Stirner's work - any suggestions?

>>4238
Not the book itself, but the method he outlines certainly is a way to self-improve. It is self-help in freeing your mind, in a sense.

>>4198
Do some meditation and reflect. No one can answer but you

He presents a philosophy where you the reader are the center of the universe, and for a lot of people, that's a very powerful thing.
It's got a similar appeal to Nietzsche and Rand, but much more concrete than the former and much more coherent than the latter.

>>3684
>Why is Stirner so popular?
Memes. Most people don't even read him. Also, he's popular in more anti-woke anarchist circles fed up with identity politics. And some anarchists are just jaded and resentful to the masses and collectivism. Some anarchists are Nietzscheans who find in Stirner a missing piece. Some anarchists just have confirmation bias and care more about how Stirner "proves" anarchism rather than how anarchism proves Stirner, freaking posers. And some anarchists just think that he's Ben Shapiro but based. I happen to be almost all of the above.
>>5424
>you the reader are the center of the universe
Are you not?

Stirner appeals to me because of his ruthless criticism of all that exists, not because he makes me feel like a special snowflake. His conception of uniqueness is different to that of the liberals. The liberals say that you need to "become" unique. Stirner says that everyone is unique, it's just that not everyone is an individualist (duh).

>>5426 (me)
Also, ancaps may get converted to Stirnerian egoism the further they descend into the mutualist rabbit hole.

whta mod?

He looks so old. The real Stirner died at 50 of a bug bite

>>5439
no clue, i copy pasted from here
>>>/games/35828

>>5427
That was me, kind of. I was a hardcore libertarian in my teens, largely but not entirely influenced by Ayn Rand. I was interested in Stirner because I knew he was an egoist like Rand, and on reading him, I came to realize that I was looking at things from the wrong direction.
